Anybody else besides me glad that Walker rd has finally opened? I go through there daily and there's still back ups due to the single lane opened south of the intersection going south. But wow it looks great
What's the capacity of the new arena?
It looks good.

The Mady Corporation who built The Gates of Glengarda project in Windsor is planning a project up here in Waterloo. I'm wondering if any of you folks from Windsor have any direct experience with this developer or project that you could share.
The WFCU looks very nice. The only negative is that it's not downtown. Considering some of the top American & Canadian figure skaters train in the Detroit area, I would think at some point in the next few years Skate Canada will hold an event at WFCU. It should be able to draw a decent crowd. I know I'll be there if/when such an event is held.
Masonjar - Through the Heritage side of things, I've had several negative experiences with Mady Corp. What are they building, and more importantly what are they tearing down to build it?
By the way tonight's council agenda has renderings of the downtown TD Bank. Think of a 3 story version of the new TD in the Home Depot plaza on Walker Road....

Does anyone know what is happening with the Spitfire & Firkin or the Hotel/Open Market in the Tecumseh/Banwell Area? The signs have been posted but no activity...
I am assuming it is on hold, but any information would be appreciated.
The hotel complex is on hold...Marriott is scouting out other locations closer to the arena. Once the Lear plant is out of the way, there'll be lots of open land available. Not sure what's going on with the S&F.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but how close are Windsor's passenger railway and bus stations, and are their any plans (even distant) for an intermodal facility for the city to house both Transit Windsor and VIA Rail? It'd be awesome if when Detroit gets its regional transit authority running smoothly and its intermodal facility up an running (which is planned, and only needs funds to get it started) in New Center that Windsor would aslo have an intermodal facility ready to coordinate some operations to make a relatively seamless transition between the two countries. Currently on the Detroit side, if you're looking to link up to Via Rail from Amtrak, it looks rather complicated.

It sounds like Via Rail is going to be rebuilding Windsor's train station (finally!) in the same location as it is currently (Walker Rd. and Riverside Dr.). Transit Windsor and Greyhound got together and just completed building the new downtown bus terminal last year so that's not going anywhere. (It's located at Church St. and Chatham St.) The bus station and train station are about 2 km apart.
There was talk in the past about building the new rail station along the tracks at Wellington Ave (near the current underwater rail tunnel) but I haven't heard much about that lately.
From what i seen, They are prepping for the new bank, All the old buidings are out of the way, including the last part of the old manning house from the 1800's
Anybody have any pics of the construction on the TD building on Ouellette ave? Have they torn down the old buildings yet?
No pics but as noted in the previous post, all the buildings are gone. They're doing foundation work or whatever as last I saw, the site is a rather large hole in the ground.
